Determine text size before drawing about dgame HOT 4 CLOSED

That would destroy the const'ness of width and height. But I could offer the possibility to call a redraw/update method manually.

Hope that is enough for your purpose.

While I pretty much dislike such unintuitive API, I guess there is no way around it... can't remove const'ness from width/height getters, of course.

What I've seen in other libs is things like Font::getDimensions or Text::calculateBounds or similar, which would not need to be const. However, that would mean 2 APIs (width/height + calculateBounds) for the same thing, which is of course another no-go.

I can't think of something that works well and gets the job done, sadly (except re-drawing every change, which is ridiculous 😉 ). So I guess going for .update would be best (I don't like "redraw" since it sounds like it should be called after draw, not before).

Edit: damn, I've gotten slow :) Thanks for the quick fix!

Yes, sadly it is not the nicest choice, but the only one without massive intervention.
